Message: [QUOTE="ConnHuskBask, post: 4665044, member: 632"] The Fiesta Bowl story was absurd and I suspect you know it. The stadium was filled (I was there and the reported attendance substantes this) and the secondary market was so cheap because (if memory serves) the national title game was Oregon Auburn a week later in Glendale and to get that ticket you had to get the Fiesta Bowl seat as well..so the market was flooded with cheap seats. Many UConn fans who were already flying to Arizona made a rational choice to save $100+ a ticket and get seats on StubHub as opposed to through the school. Not to mention the same year the ACC champion got beat by 28 points too in the Orange bowl but that didn't become a national story and a catalyst for the downfall of the BCS. UConn athletics isn't a blue blood (you yourself tout this as a badge of honor for hoop) and thus we get the ish treatment by many of the media...you debate this? [/QUOTE]
